I was varnishing using a regular bristle brush and remembered oil painters freezing their pallets between sessions. So, I wrapped my brush in a plastic grocery bag and put it in the freezer. I didn't get back to that job for over two weeks and the brush was still as soft as when I was through with it. I know it was not because of the plastic because I just wrapped it up quickly with no effort to make a tight seal because I wanted to see if the freezing works. it does.
